Stateside

(Mel Tillis)



Well, the Japanies moon is bright tonight and Tokyo is full of life

Busy people everywhere but busy people just don't care

I wanna go stateside, oh Lord, I wanna go stateside.



In and out the honky tonks but nothing's there I really want

Sat awhile then look around get up and leave and walk the town

I wanna go stateside, oh Lord, I wanna go stateside.



The giashy girls don't understand the lonely life of a service man

When his heart is far away to a girl in the USA

I wanna go stateside, oh Lord, I wanna go stateside.



I've heard say a man don't cry but I can't keep my blue eyes dry

I've been away about two years I know I've cried a million tears

I wanna go stateside, oh Lord, I wanna go stateside.



Oh Lord, I wanna go stateside...
